Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
However, if there was ever a time when his self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop’ status was justified, the Thriller era was it. Jackson’s 1982 album release ‘Thriller’ was one of the largest commercial successes …

Overview —“ Side II of The Who Sell Out isn’t extremely different from side I, or at least I don’t think so, and it just isn’t quite as good. This isn’t to say that side II isn’t good though, some tracks on here still have some great parts to …

Rock And Roll is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album Loaded. Opening up with a fairly quick but empty sounding introduction, the intro makes good use of some nice bass fills, but unfortunately really lacks in a guitar riff to hold my attention. Nevertheless, …

It seems like the world is now ready for the new Justin Bieber. I was not completely sold on his previous discography because he sounded like a try-hard twink trying to make it big. Of course he made it big, thanks to the fan girls all around the world …

Usually, I avoid character songs. Not that I hate them, or that they’re always bad, but they just sound odd sometimes. But Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei already has the girls singing in the openings and endings. One of my favorite character songs of theirs is this song, by Yuu Kobayashi.
It …

The song sneaky snake is sung by Tom T. Hall. This song is sort of a joke because it is so funny. When I hear this song I think of the line about the snake drinking all the root beer. Somehow though that just seems impossible and silly. Snakes …

Garth Brooks put together a couple of party songs during his career. Ain’t Goin’ Down ‘Til the Sun Comes Up is one of them. Partying in the country generally means that you aren’t going to stop until you see daylight. You may not even stop then. That is what …

Bassists look for the same things when they buy a bass guitar: beefy tone, comfortable feel, great versatility, and of course, a killer look! I had all of these things in mind when I went searching for a new bass guitar. I have recently become busy with …

I myself do enjoy listening to several Christian hymns. Not always due to the fact that they are religious, but to the fact that I love the sounds of the music and the voices, it makes me very relaxed and calm. I have been looking all over the internet for …

I was never really into Reggae as a genre of music but if I was ever to get into it then the legendary Bob Marley would serve as my personal entry point. All the more fitting I thought then, that his first album I would get is entitled —˜Legends’.

From the first chord of the acoustic guitar, the sultry voice, and the overall sensual mood, one would believe “Wounds in the Way” was a sad love song. But after hearing the song during its second play, you’ll come to see that is not the case: “Wounds in the Way” …

I’ve been a huge fan of the rock band Rush since their Moving Pictures album back in 1981. So far I’ve collected all their albums and will usually listen to them all at least once a year. Their musical progression has always been a drawing point for …

Aaliyah
“Journey To The Past”
“Anastasia” Original Soundtrack

Ah, I’m not so quite sure what they were thinking when they made this video. Don’t get me wrong, Aaliyah does what she does best, it’s just this video that is not ‘at its best’. Is it me or do all music videos …

Dreamend is a band I discovered quite recently. I had listened to them some before but never really got impressed. Once I listened to Sun in Aries I was completely astonished with what I heard. You can say it’s divided into two separate parts. The first one combines tender …

It starts off basically with Nelly leading the pack while Fergie is the main provider of the Chorus of the song with Nelly bringing up the raer or ending of the chorus. She does an absolutely great job in …
